You don't miss anything.

The initial idea for linkedrecords was: I never want to write backend code and I want to build real time collaboration app. The realization that this way the user can choose its own backend came later. The idea never made it into MonsterWriter. But it would be very simple to add.

So the current implementation of MonsterWriter just hard codes the linkedrecords backend instead of prompting the user to pick one.

I don’t get it. Why did you title your hn submission after a feature that doesn’t exist?

Why not use that space to say something that your thing actually does? It’d save everyone a lot of confusion.
